Waiting on my CD4s part 2

Aug 10, 2010

Older one here again. I contacted my IDS about my small gains in cd4s(20). He pulled up my reports since I started meds and at that time my cd4% was 24.0, six weeks later it was 26.5 and then my last % was 27.1. He agreed with you that the gain in % was a good indication that that the Isentress & Truvada were doing their job.

Response from Dr. Young

Hello Older,

Great to hear back from you; I'd concur with your doctor, your risiing CD4 percentages are consistent with a good response to treatment.
